CD ReviewsAging Troubadour J. Herman | Atlanta, GA United States | 05/18/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "An influential folk revivalist in the late-50's and early-60's, Bob Gibson twenty years later beat his nasty drug habits and came back as a folksy older-but-wiser singer-songwriter (often in collaboration with professional weirdo Shel Silverstein). This compilation CD samples the four albums he released on small midwestern labels between 1974 and 1984, and throws in a few previously un-released tracks to boot. While each of the individual records still holds up well today, "The Living Legend Years" is somewhat arbitrary in its choice of material and comes off a bit schizophrenic. In particular, only one song from "The Perfect High" (probably the most entertaining entry from the later Gibson) was included. For a sampling, this will do just fine, but listeners would do better simply to pick up each of the originals."
